Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA lower court had dismissed an action for dissolution of a partnership and distribution of assets brought by one partner against another, finding that the partner seeking dissolution had failed to prove any serious disagreement making the continuation of the partnership impossible or that the continuation was otherwise prejudicial, and the higher court upheld this decision, reasoning that the trial judge, in the exercise of their discretionary power, was entitled to conclude that the evidence did not establish the necessary grounds for judicial dissolution of the partnership, as the mere existence of minor disagreements or a general lack of cordiality between the partners did not automatically justify dissolution when the partnership was still capable of functioning.
